Critically acclaimed husband & wife duo Shovels & Rope will bring a special performance to Boulder Theater on March 9 as part of their intimate spring tour. "An Evening With Shovels & Rope" is a limited run of shows specially curated for smaller, more intimate venues that allow the band to take their time and stretch out musically. The night will still feature Shovels & Rope's full musical set up, but will also find them performing deep cuts, as well as testing out new songs, telling stories in a way that is not usually possible in larger venues, and possibly even taking requests.

"They mix all of my favorite genres (country, folk, punk, and rock) together seamlessly, and have been releasing gorgeous “alt-country” albums years before Kacey Musgraves and Sturgill Simpson were household names." - Noisey

Shovels & Rope recently released their second surprise collaborative effort, Busted Jukebox Vol. 2, which features the multitalented Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent (aka Shovels & Rope) recording new versions of a thoughtfully curated selection of songs with a celebrated group of artists/friends. Produced by Trent, the album features 10 diverse tracks originally written and recorded by an eclectic list of artists, including The Clash, Concrete Blonde, Leonard Cohen, Faith No More, Sigur Ros, The Breeders, Willie Nelson and more. Artists such as Brandi Carlile, Hayes Carll, Nicole Atkins, John Fullbright and Rhett Miller help inject a new energy into the revised renditions of these tried and true classics.
